Report: Sixers discussing 'several' trade packages for Kawhi Leonard

As the hours go by, it seems that a potential Kawhi Leonard trade becomes likely to happen sooner than later. While not much has been said about the Philadelphia 76ers and a potential deal for the San Antonio Spurs star, there are apparently major talks going on behind the scenes.

As Sports Illustrated’s Jake Fischer revealed Thursday, the Sixers have not made a formal offer for Leonard yet, but are discussing multiple packages the 26-year-old.

The Sixers have yet to make a formal trade offer to San Antonio, but Philadelphia is internally discussing several trade packages the Spurs prefer in a Kawhi Leonard trade, sources say. Full details on Philly's Kawhi strategy: https://t.co/qPyaPLelxG

The bulk of the headlines recently have been about a possible trade sending Leonard to the Los Angeles Lakers. To go along with the Lakers, there have been major rumblings about the Boston Celtics as well, and in turn, the Sixers faded to the background a bit.

Fortunately, they haven’t disappeared completely in the Leonard sweepstakes though, but instead they may be working on putting together the package they feel most comfortable with.

Whether or not that package will be enough is the big question. It’s unknown what both the Lakers and Celtics are offering, but this may prove to be quite a race to the finish.
